Sheaf Cohomology BCI Skill: Local-to-Global Consistency
Status: Production Ready Trit: -1 (MINUS - validator) Color: #2626D8 (Blue) Principle: Sheaf condition = local-to-global consistency principle Frame: Cellular sheaf on BCI signal graph with Cech cohomology
Overview
Sheaf Cohomology verifies that local BCI measurements (per channel) can be consistently glued into a global signal. Implements:
- Cellular sheaf: Stalks F(v) at vertices, restriction maps on edges
- Sheaf condition: Gluing axiom verification across overlapping regions
- Cech cohomology: H^0 (global sections), H^1 (obstructions to gluing)
- Sheaf Laplacian: Tr(L_F) measures total inconsistency
- Descent/gluing: Attempt global section construction, identify obstruction class
Correct by construction: H^1 = 0 iff local sections glue uniquely to global.
Core Formulae
Cellular sheaf F on graph G = (V, E):
F(v) = stalk (vector space) at vertex v
rho_{v,e}: F(v) -> F(e) restriction map
Sheaf condition:
rho_{u,e}(s_u) = rho_{v,e}(s_v) for all edges e=(u,v)
Cech cohomology:
C^0 = prod F(U_i) (local sections)
C^1 = prod F(U_i cap U_j) (overlap data)
delta_0: C^0 -> C^1 (coboundary)
H^0 = ker(delta_0) (global sections)
H^1 = ker(delta_1)/im(delta_0) (obstructions)
Sheaf Laplacian:
L_F = delta^T delta
Tr(L_F) = total inconsistency
ker(L_F) = harmonic sections (global)
Key Results
Multi-World Sheaf Comparison:
world-a: Tr(L_F)=3.24, non-trivial obstruction (beta-gamma disagreement)
world-b: Tr(L_F)=0.09, GLUED (consistent signals, trivial H^1)
world-c: Tr(L_F)=20.75, highly inconsistent (diverse channels)
